Endrick Linked to Milan

Endrick, a 20-year-old Brazilian striker, is being linked with a January move to AC Milan, according to Italian newspapers. The player has struggled to make an impact at Real Madrid, despite being signed for a significant fee in 2024.

Carlo Ancelotti has expressed concern about the lack of game time for young Brazilian players in Europe, citing Endrick as an example. Ancelotti said that without playing, these players cannot progress.

Endrick had a productive spell on loan at Lyon in the second half of the 2025-26 season, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists in 21 matches. However, his return to Real Madrid has seen him struggle to break into the first team.

AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Endrick on a loan deal, which would allow them to have him in their squad for five months at no cost. The club could then renegotiate a contract with Real Madrid in the summer.

Endrick's camp held talks with Real Madrid during the international break, seeking clarity on his role at the club. The player has made only one substitute appearance for Real Madrid so far this season.

Other clubs, including Arsenal and Tottenham, are also reportedly interested in signing Endrick. However, AC Milan are seen as a strong contender for the player's signature.

The January transfer window is expected to be busy, with several clubs looking to strengthen their squads. Endrick's future is likely to be a major talking point in the coming weeks.
